The organization announced on April 21 that the exhibition will be held on the 4th floor of Hiker Ground in Jung-gu, Seoul, until June 21. The exhibition incorporates the recent "Text Hip" and handwriting trends popular among Millennials & Gen Z, connecting them with local tourism. It is designed to let visitors read and write regional fonts, enabling them to experience the unique charm of different areas indirectly.

The exhibition consists of seven zones, each featuring the landscapes, people, and local specialties of various regions. Visitors can explore the exhibition by completing their own collection notebooks through activities such as collecting stamps, writing postcards, and participating in handwriting experiences.

At the venue, visitors can see 109 different regional fonts from across the country, including "Bada Batangche" from Sokcho, Gangwon Province, and "Wolyeonggyoche" from Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, all in one place. Additional programs include pen drawing postcard writing, a multi-stamp experience, and a Korean tattoo experience using digital devices.

Through this exhibition, the organization will also unveil the exclusive "Hiker Font" for the first time, which reflects the emotion of Korean tourism and the brand identity of Hiker Ground. Visitors can participate in handwriting experiences using this font at the exhibition. Both the regional fonts featured and the Hiker Font will be available for free download via QR codes provided on-site.
